So I’d like to help students get into CS and art inspired by #plottertwitter. Can any experts recommend a machine to get us started, or share where and how you acquired your plotter(s)? Thank you!

A7: Students might get adjusted written/graphic/verbal instructions from me if I know they need certain supports. I've also had very high achieving (or experienced) students in the past plan their own projects with me, while most of the grade works from my goals. #csk8
